Liu Liu quickly ran to his master and reported: "Sir, Xi Shan's family said that Xi Shan has night spirit syndrome. He often runs around after falling asleep.
At first, the Xi family would lock him in the house, but he climbed out the window himself.
If you lock the door or window again, he will violently break the window or door and run out.
After locking the courtyard door, he climbed over the wall.
But he will not be awake during any of this.
Only once did they chain him up and he woke up after being unable to break free. After waking up, I became seriously ill and almost died.
The Xi family never dared to do that again.
We can only let him out.
But when he dances outside... Oh yes, he not only walks at night, but also dances and shouts: 'Dance, dance,'.
When he has danced enough, he will come back on his own and lie down to sleep again.
Since I had never been in danger and couldn't lock him up, I simply let him go.
I looked through the record book of orders received by his family in the past week, and there was nothing special. It doesn't matter if it's made or repaired.
His family also said no.
As for the grudge, his son said: There is a high probability that they are colleagues. Well, it's the blacksmith shop diagonally across the street on the corner. "
As Liu Liu spoke, he tilted his neck and asked the adult: "The story about that family is quite long. Do you want to hear it?"
Di Ying glanced at him.
He immediately stood up straight and quickly asked and answered himself: "Of course you have to listen. As long as the adults in our family are concerned with the case, no matter how trivial it is, we will listen with our own ears.
That subordinate said so.
Sir, please listen to me.
The family's surname was Gong, and the head of the family was Gong Chunjiang. He was about the same age as Xi Shan, about forty years old.
The Xi Family Blacksmith Shop is a blacksmith shop that has been passed down from generation to generation in Tongtou County, and they have always lived in this county.
The Gong family, under the leadership of Gong Chunjiang, moved to Tongtou County.
Originally, the business couldn't compete with the Xi family's, but Gong Chunjiang was very good at causing trouble.
As long as he went to his house to make iron tools, even if it was just to make a nail, he would give them a small gift.
For example, a few dates or something.
The more valuable the items are, the more valuable the gifts in return will be.
Gradually, more and more county residents went to him.
It's just that it's impossible for the Gong family to steal all the Xi family's business.
Because the Xi family's craftsmanship is good and there are few impurities, the products they make are more durable.
Also because: the county magistrate, that Lei Fu, is not a bad guy.
As you know, my lord, iron ore mines are managed by the government.
The iron in the blacksmith shop is all recycled old iron, remelted and then forged.
However, if you want to open a blacksmith shop, you must also make a special report to the government.
If you encounter a bad official, the blacksmith shop can be destroyed by any pretext.
Or chew up the blacksmith shop until it closes down.
Redford didn't.
He believes: People's livelihood and people's livelihood are the issues most closely related to people's lives.
As long as there is no tax default or tax arrears, he will not stretch his hand too far.
He is not greedy, he is the kind of person who is always content with what he has.
Be lazy if you can.
So I stayed in Tongtou County until I almost became moldy and couldn't move.
This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for the officials under him to be promoted. "
When Liu Liu said this, he scratched his face before continuing: "But it's strange. This Tongtou County is very peaceful.
There are almost no big cases. Everyone is pretty well behaved.
Sorry, I'm going too far.
In short, the Gong family's methods to bribe the government and suppress the Xi family are useless, so they maintain a similar balance to the Xi family.
The Gong family maintains that style of doing business. However, the items made by his family are both good and bad, and are erratic.
And things are not quiet inside the Gong family.
Gong Chunjiang's wife committed suicide by drowning herself in the river in mid-June this year.
According to Xi's family, there are rumors that Gong Chunjiang's wife Zhao committed suicide because she was terminally ill and suffered for a long time.
Hao Gang and the government servant had also heard about this.
For probably more than a year, the Gong family invited doctors every day and cooked soup and medicine every day. Everyone knew about this.
Hao Gang also said that Zhao's body and the yamen's marriage certificate had been examined, which confirmed the theory that he committed suicide by jumping into the river.
During that time, the Gong family's business almost went bankrupt. It is said that Gong Chunjiang loved his wife so much that he even neglected his business in order to take care of her.
The Xi family took the opportunity to win back a lot of business at that time.
In fact, you don’t blame the Xi family, right?
If people want to live, they can't wait for Gong Chunjiang to cheer up before buying scissors or a hoe, right?
But after hearing that after Zhao's death, Gong Chunjiang hated the Xi family.
Three months have passed since the incident, but Gong Chunjiang still raises his eyebrows when he sees Xi Shan. It makes two families on the same street look like enemies.
I would rather take a detour than pass through the other party's door.
Today I heard that Xi Shan was dead. Gong Chunjiang also set off a firecracker in front of his house. Xi Shan's son was so angry that he almost chopped him down. "
After Di Ying listened to Liu Liu's gestures and explained what he had found out, he walked over to Gong Chunjiang's house.
Gong Chunjiang looks younger than Xi Shan, but not as strong as Xi Shan. His height is about 170 centimeters, and his weight is visually estimated to be about 55 kilograms.
After Di Ying entered the shop, she asked the guards to find all the Gong family members and stand in two rows.
Have them all hold out two hands, palms facing up.
After reading it, Di Ying said to Jiang Twenty-san: "Drag Gong Chunjiang out and play thirty-three in the street. No need to take off your pants."
When Gong Chunjiang heard this, he immediately cried out.
His family members also wanted to rush forward to stop him, but the guards held them back with sword scabbards.
Di Yingze said calmly: "Grudges disappear after death. Gong Chunjiang, after Xi Shan's death, you did not cultivate your moral character, set off firecrackers to celebrate, stirred up grudges, created troubles, and brewed conflicts. I will give you thirty sticks. That is It’s light. If you howl again, add thirty more.”
Gong family: "..."
I could only watch helplessly as Gong Chunjiang was dragged out and beaten until he howled.
But I could see that many of the people outside were laughing so hard.
Originally, they didn't hate the Gong family so much. Some of them liked to go to his shop to buy things just to take advantage of them.
It was the firecrackers set off in Chunjiang this time that made many people hate him.
Now that he was beaten, people felt extremely happy.
This is like being spanked in the street and having your face thrown from the street to the end of the street.
The Gong family members in the shop turned green after hearing the cheers from the neighbors.
But it's not over yet.
Gong Chunjiang's second son, Gong Wei, was also dragged out.
Just when the Gong family wanted to fight to the death, they were confused.
I heard Master Di's question.
"Gong Wei, do you agree that you were instigated by someone and drowned Xi Shan by the river in the south of the city around three o'clock today?!"
Gong Wei's eyes flickered when he was asked, and he immediately shook his head and said: "Xiaomin doesn't admit it! At the third moment of the ugly day, Xiaomin was drinking with a group of merchants. How could he go to the river south of the city to kill someone?"
